Quick And Easy Chicken Coops

2016/5/4 10:36:36

In this article you're going to discover how to quickly and easily build a quality chicken coop to house your flock. Before we proceed I would like to pause for a second and just highlight the importance of following instructions. You see, people who want to build a chicken house and run quickly and with little effort, usually end up doing a shoddy job, or they miss out vital components of the chicken coop which results in a chicken coop that is not safe - either for the chickens or even any humans that are in there collecting the eggs. If you're willing to follow the instructions and do a proper job, then you'll achieve a quality chicken coop that was built both quickly and easily.

Because you want to build a chicken coop as fast as possible, you need a guide that will walk you through the whole process of building a coop. Now you can buy these from Amazon, but of course, there's the whole 3 days for shipping thing. So that's not an option because you need instant access, so that's where electronic books come in. There are a few chicken coop guides out there that come in electronic format which you can download. Grab one of these guides and proceed to build your dream chicken coop, but be sure to take the following things into consideration.

* Make sure you have enough space in your backyard. It sounds so obvious, but many people don't take it into consideration, they just assume that they do have enough space. If you're housing up to 5 hens, then you're most definitely going to need an area that is 20 x 20 ft, when you take into account the run that is bigger than the actual coop.

* Beware of the predators. You might want to think about implementing some precautions whilst you're building your coop. For instance, surrounding the run you'll have mesh wire. Well you could ensure that the wire goes a few inches into the ground, so those nasty predators can't dig their way under.

* Make sure you have a water basin and a feeder available at all times. This one sounds so obvious, but often the owners get so caught up in the excitement of completing the coop they forget to ensure there's plenty of food and water available at all times, or to ensure that the feeder is easily accessible for both cleaning and refilling.

These are just some pointers I have learned over my years of raising hens and building chicken coops and runs. For more information of what to do to make building your chicken coops as much fun as possible then drop by my site by clicking right here
